>>>Real-time, no-stop, no-drop OS for live performance<<<

Oh my…Ableton Live as a piece of hardware from Roger Linn & Dave Smith? I think my dream just came true!

Stereo inputs let you sample, process audio, or trigger sounds

The same inputs let you trigger? Or a different set? I never got to try the Akai S950’s that had, and correct me if ive got the wrong model, drum inputs so you could hook up pads. The concept is excellent. The amount of D4’s that have been bought acting as drum tiggers is astounding.

This does sound pretty special though. I own an MPC, MPD, Novation DrumStation and other similar stuff and this could potentially combined the best bits of all of these in one package, and that “potentially” is worth waiting for. Even if this doesnt live up to the hype, its nice to know there are alterntives to the MachineDrum doing the “meta-drum machine thing” rounds.

@Evan: After I pay muh taxes (argh, self-employed), I’m totally starting a LinnDrum II Analog fund…. Can’t wait for more info and a chance to actually play the thang (which will probably be this time next year, when we’ll already have decided the next US president…

Remember how Bush II gave away that chimpy tax refund to everyone shortly after taking office, as a way to buy off the public after the recount? Maybe we can convince Clinton or Obama to front a Boomchik for everyone.

@jorge: boomchik is hands-down best name ever ever ever

I’m repainting it on mine!

Excellent. Now - I buy the LinnDrum II, the Prophet 08, and my plan to become Peter Gabriel 2.0 is nearly complete!

After I pay muh taxes (argh, self-employed), I’m totally starting a LinnDrum II Analog fund. Given the track record of these two men, I really don’t see how this can be a bad product.

One thing haven’t seen people mentioning about the analog version is that it seems to be 4 complete analog voices, not just analog drum voices, with an integrated sequencer meant for live use. That means 4 (albeit identical) analog monosynths being sequenced and tweaked live from one box. Very cool.

Can’t wait for more info and a chance to actually play the thang (which will probably be this time next year, when we’ll already have decided the next US president… oh boy).
